It has a load capacity of 20kg and a lock to provide peace of mind at motorway services. £115, thule.com SARIS BONES EX 3-BIKE This high-end hatch-mounted rack is a classic in bike rack circles.

With the nights drawing in, now is the time to get your smart lighting on point. And LIFX has the gear you need with its multi-zone lighting Z TV Strip (£64, lifx.com) and Candle Colour smart light (£44), available this November. The Z TV Strip casts a coloured halo or ‘bias lighting’ effect behind your TV, and in your choice of colour too (select them via the app). The Wi-Fi-enabled Colour Candle can be perched on tables and bookshelves, and has individual lighting zones. That means you can program it to emit multiple colours at once.…

The Expanse This can fall into slightly cheesy, Babylon 5-like territory at times, but the series takes place in such a rich, politically intriguing and believable sci-fi world that it more than gets away with it. If you love sci-fi, you will love its three seasons (with two more coming). Where to watch: Amazon Prime The Good Wife The story of a wife trying to get through the aftermath of her politician husband’s sex scandal, this is a show about politics and law that draws situations from the real world. It’s full of engrossing character development over seven seasons (plus a spin-off). Where to watch: Amazon Prime Brooklyn 99 The best feel-good comedy ever? This sitcom about a semi-functional group of New York detectives is a) always brilliantly funny, and…

Zeiss Victory SF Binoculars Immerse yourself in nature by watching it closely; a great way to do this is with a spot of birdwatching. You’ll need a pair of good quality binoculars to do so, and these rugged Zeiss Victory SF binos have been designed especially for birdwatchers, and sport a fast-focus feature. £1,999, cliftoncameras.co.uk Celestron Travel Scope 70DX If you’re travelling by car, and want to really slow down and practise some mindfulness, stargazing comes recommended. It helps you focus fully on what’s in front of you: in this case, the sky. Celestron’s telescope is easy to set up, and is light and compact enough for travel use. £66, picstop.co.uk Nikon COOLPIX A1000 The Coolpix A1000 is a neat compact camera to handle all sorts of nature photography. It’s…

1 Ampler Curt More a city cruiser than racer, though it’s quite capable of turning its hand to any task, with gearing options for all types of terrain plus extra smarts for year-round riding. €2,890 (approx. £2,676), amplerbikes.com SPECS FRAME Aluminium Alloy 6061 BRAKES Hydraulic disc GROUPSET Shimano Deore M6000 BATTERY CAPACITY 336 Wh ASSISTANCE Three levels MOTOR Rear hub REMOVABLE BATTERY?

PINARELLO NYTRO Many a Tour de France victory has been claimed aboard Italian superbrand Pinarello’s flagship race bike, the Dogma F10, and while we’re not claiming its entry into the ebike market with the Nytro will make you a pro at the pedals, Pinarello claims that its carbon fibre frame is inspired by the Dogma F10 geometry, which basically means it’s been designed to go fast. It’s long, aerodynamic - even around the drive system - and has the most powerful motor in this group, with a maximum output of 400 watts and 60Nm of torque. In this mode, it’s a rocket up hills with minimal effort. Pinarello claims an overall weight of 13kg, which isn’t spectacular - the Fazau Evation drive system is a hefty 4.7kg, which accounts for…

HOTEL CHOCOLAT THE VELVETISER Super-silky hot chocolate in a mug is what The Velvetiser promises, and boy does it deliver. Add milk and a sachet of Hotel Chocolat drinking chocolate (10 sachets included, plus two ceramic cups), and the machine works its magic in a few minutes. The Velvetiser comes in white, copper and charcoal, and is simple to wash out. £99, hotelchocolat.com PHILIPS OLED 8 SERIES AMBILIGHT TV Take your viewing to the next level with an OLED Ambilight set, which projects colours behind the screen that match the main hue of what’s happening in the film or TV show you’re watching. It’s a hugely immersive experience for super-chilled movie nights, elevated further by fantastic picture and audio quality. £2,000, philips.co.uk BEURER MONOGRAM KONNECT SMART HEATED MATTRESS COVER You…

NANOLEAF CANVAS Not your usual smart lights, these tessellating Nanoleaf Canvas panels can be arranged into specific shapes or more can be added together to blanket a wall. They’re touch-sensitive, and colours and brightness can be adjusted via the app. From £179, nanoleaf.me LIGHTWAVE LIGHTING STARTER KIT Fit smart switches like this one instead of your existing light switches so that you can control your dumb lights normally… with the added bonus of app control and scheduling.

01 A GREAT ALL-ROUNDER DELL XPS 13 £1,249, dell.com This is one of the beefier laptops here, and is pleasingly weighty in the hand, with a fine white and gold finish on the model we tested. Happily, the keyboard and trackpad are both sensitive and pleasing to use. The Intel processor is perfectly capable of simple photo and video editing as well as general computer work. Where it shines, though, is video playback. The 13-inch screen is crisp and clear with excellent colour. The battery life is dependable too. While it’s a bit heavier than some of the other laptops here, that’s no dealbreaker. 02 FROM THE FUTURE ACER SWIFT 7 £1,499, acer.com There’s a certain magic here. Weighing just 1.2kg thanks to its fanless design and ultra-thin battery, the…

A wallet is a highly personal accessory, as not only does it literally contain your identity, it also offers a quick-fire glimpse of what you might be like: organised or messy? A hoarder or a minimalist? This new-season luxury woven leather wallet from an iconic Italian fashion house gives you room to land somewhere in between, albeit in a neater manner. There are four card slots, two slip pockets, two note pockets and a snap-button coin stash. The leather is woven in Italy using the same kind of looms that put together the luxury fabrics used in the brand’s clothes, and doesn’t just add some stylish flair: it’ll also help the outside survive the daily wear and tear of being in your pocket better, holding its fine looks for longer.…

After giving the luxury car industry a high-voltage shot in the arm with both the Model S and Model X, Tesla is now targeting the mainstream with the Model 3. It’s smaller (think BMW 3 Series) than its predecessors, but still packs a supercar punch. In its flagship Performance guise, with dual motors, all-wheel-drive and 440hp, the Model 3 hits 60mph in 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 162mph. All versions are treated to a huge glass roof and minimalist interior, replete with a dashboard that’s blank apart from a 15-inch touchscreen. The screen is pin-sharp and responds with the speed of an iPad Pro. It’s a beautiful interface but takes some adjusting to, especially with the off-centre speedometer and how adjustments for the wheel, mirrors and even wiper…

Think summer holidays end when the kids return to school? Not so fast! September is actually the perfect time to holiday: the heatwaves are long gone, air fares are returning to normal, and, yes, there are less excitable kids at the various resorts and tourist destinations. If you fancy getting away this month, you could start small with a city break. Our top recommendation is Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana (return flights from £207, easyjet.com), famous for its riverside marketplace and historic market squares. Post-August, the crowds are starting to thin out and the country’s small size (it’s home to just two million people) means getting around to its must-see attractions is easy and fast. Top of your list should be the enormous Postojna cave (¤25.80/£23.89, postojnska-jama. eu/en), an other-worldly spot that’s…

THE CROWN SEASON 3 Look, it’s not out til November 17th, but GaGu is already fired up (classily). Olivia Colman is taking over as QEII, and she’s going to be phenomenal, as will Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip. HOBBS & SHAW There is little better in this world than over-macho muscleheads getting involved in ridiculous on-screen combat. If you disagree, you can fight Guru. In space. 13 MINUTES TO THE MOON An absolutely incredible podcast production from the BBC, mapping the story of the first Moon landing. Engaging, engrossing, and downright terrifying at times.…

1 Google Home Max Gloriously full and detailed sound, and with Google Cast multiroom… The Home Max does the ‘speaker’ part of smart speaker better than the rest, thanks to top sound and versatile inputs. There are a number of other thoughtful touches, too: the Max comes with a pad to rest on to help avoid vibration interference, and can be stood upright or landscape, with the lights and controls shifting with the orientation. £299, store.google.com/gb 2 iZotope Spire Studio Getting lost in music listening is a dream, but getting lost in music creation is a nightmare if you’ve no way to save your ideas. The iZotope Spire Studio is your nightmares-no-more solution. This battery-operated mobile studio guarantees that any impromptu meander into melody-making is preserved. You can even add…

1 Panasonic SD-ZB2502BXC Bread Maker If there’s one thing that’ll capture the essence of a slow, rustic lifestyle, it’s the smell of home baking. Panasonic’s kitchen-top conjuror comes with 25 different bread and dough modes, a raisin and nut dispenser that adds the ingredients at just the right time for an even distribution, and a range of loaf-size and darkness settings. It’s well worth your dough. £159, panasonic.com 2 Kuvings EVO820 Slow Juicer Good things come to those who wait, and Kuvings’ slow juicer operates at a steady 60rpm in order to squeeze out a best-in-class yield of nutrients and vitamins. Its 82mm-wide chute is broad enough to take some fruit whole, minimising the amount of preparation needed. And, thanks to its brushless motor, it does all this in near-silence,…

THOSE ‘EXTRAS’ EXPLAINED One of the reasons that 5G phone contracts remain relatively high in price is that networks throw in a load of extras on top of the data and calls that you actually want – you can see that if you browse the Vodafone and EE plans on offer right now (5G is coming to O2 and Three too – O2 is rolling it out in certain places from October onwards, while Three has similar plans for “later this year”). It can be a little confusing trying to work out where the best value for money can be had, but we’re here to help. Starting with Vodafone, one of the main perks is roaming around Europe without any extra fees – well, we say “perks”, but this has…

One 5G option we haven’t mentioned yet doesn’t require you to upgrade your current devices, and it covers more than phones: buy a 5G router. It acts like a hotspot for your other devices, so your current laptop, phone and tablet can all enjoy the benefits of 5G. The HTC 5G Hub works off battery power (and lasts a full day away from a power socket, HTC says). Sit it anywhere you can find a 5G signal, and then connect up to 20 other devices to take advantage of the blazing fast speeds. Bring it to the coffee shop to work, use it while stuck in traffic to entertain the kids, bring it back home, take it wherever you like. The connection between the hub and your various devices is…

AMPLER CURT Ampler’s electric offering is reminiscent of the T3 test-winning Vanmoof Electrified S we featured a couple of years back - stealth bomber matte black, with a hidden drive system and built-in lights. It’s not quite the tech showcase that epitomised that bike, but it does have a pretty major advantage: it’s much lighter. Despite its somewhat modest aluminium frame and carbon fibre fork, it rivals high-end carbon fibre road ebikes on the scales - 13.5kg in single speed and 14.3kg when the 10-speed Shimano option is selected, which is the option you’ll want for the hilly stuff. Ampler has chosen to go with a motor located in the rear hub, while the battery is hidden inside the downtube. Though this tube is rather slender, a 336Wh battery (the…

Dawn breaks over the grounds of a leafy country pile in Hampshire, as Eythóra Thórsdóttir revs the engine of a gobstopper-red 1960s Volvo P1800, the kind Roger Moore drives in The Saint. An instructor leans in to explain the gearbox – surely, the greatest driving lesson anyone could wish for? The 21-year-old knows automatics but the clutch of a classic car calls for a certain firmness of touch. That’s no pressure for Eythóra who, as an Olympic gymnast, knows better than most about footwork. The moment the director calls action, she pulls away and motors up the driveway. And there’s a mischief in her eyes that the camera seems to love. I’ve been invited onto the set of Let The Light In – a film created to show off the…

Smart security cameras keep an eye on your property while you’re away from home, whether that’s for a few hours or a few weeks, and they’re now more affordable and easier to use than ever. A smart security camera like the Nest Cam IQ Indoor will ping your phone as soon as it detects unexpected motion, and has two-way audio so that you can shout at potential burglars (and unruly pets chewing your furniture). The Nest Cam IQ Indoor is clever enough to quickly tell the difference between strangers and recognised faces (your family and friends), lowering the chance of any false alarms. Smart door locks let your guests in remotely and keep any intruders out Similar products include the mighty Ring Floodlight Cam (for outside your home) and the…

As we’ve said throughout this feature, sleep tech on its own is not a magic bullet for instantly better slumber – your lifestyle choices and sleep hygiene are far more crucial – but some gadgets can give you a helping hand. The key when choosing a smart sleep aid is to consider your main challenge: are you a frequent waker or do you suffer from insomnia? Do you snore (or does your partner)? Perhaps you have trouble waking up easily in the morning? These are all genuine sleep issues that require time, understanding and patience, and there are smart sleep aids out there that, when coupled with proper sleep hygiene, can support you towards alleviating them. ONE FOR DEEP SLEEPERS LUMIE BODYCLOCK SHINE 300 Falling asleep is not the only…

SPECIFICATIONS Screen 7680x4320 LCD Sizes 85, 98 inches Picture engine Picture Processor X1 Ultimate HDR HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision OS Android TV Oreo Connectivity 4x HDMI, 3x USB, RF, 2x satellite, Ethernet, optical out, Wi-Fi Dimensions 1913x1226x432mm Weight 74kg From £13,999 sony.co.uk Sony is the second big TV maker to enter the 8K resolution race. Its Master Series ZG9, available in hulking 85- (reviewed here) and 98-inch screen sizes, is priced at £13,999 and £84,999 respectively. While Samsung started its smaller 8K screens at surprisingly affordable prices, Sony is clearly not targeting those of us who moan when Netflix raises its monthly sub. Still the Z9G currently stands as the only opposition to Samsung’s 8K sets, at least until LG brings its much-anticipated 8K OLED out later this year. So…

From £1,099 apple.com/uk If you bought last year’s MacBook Air refresh, you can skip this bit. This is a nearly identical machine, with £100 lopped off the price and some small tweaks made. But anyone else looking for a thin and light machine should pay attention, because Apple knows what it’s doing. Like last year’s version there’s a dual-core 1.6GHz processor at the heart here, which can hit 3.6GHz in Turbo Boost for short periods of time. There’s more raw power in some of the laptops in our round-up on p90 for similar prices, but they also draw a lot more power – Apple quotes 12 hours of life for the Air, but in lighter usage (writing, emails and browsing) we were losing just a couple of percentage points per…

THE READER Rob Jenkins Rob’s heading to the Lake District for a two-week walking holiday next month. He’s after a weatherproof jacket, a comfy backpack, good boots and tech to help him navigate. THE EXPERT Mark Mayne Mark tests outdoor gear for a living as well as a passion, and has a metaphorical rucksack of excellent tips, tricks and gear to suggest for walking holidays. 1 ARC’TERYX BRIZE 32 BACKPACK The Brize 32 is an excellent size for day hikes, with plenty of room for the essentials without getting too large and cumbersome. Sleek lines and ingenious pockets mean everything is accessible but stashed out of the way, while an ergonomic Aeroform thermoformed back panel boosts comfort and breathability. £140, arcteryx.com 2 BLACK DIAMOND DISTANCE CARBON Z A good pair…

Mio dash cams recently gained a slick new addition to the popular 7 Series range in the shape of the MiVue 798 and 798 Dual. Both the 798 (£189.99) and the Dual version (£249.99, mio.com), which also includes the MiVue A30 rear cam, provide 2.5K QHD 1600p footage with 150° wide-angle viewing, and utilise Sony’s Starvis CMOS, bringing enhanced detail to footage. This can be shared via built-in Wi-Fi, with integrated GPS providing location data. Other features include a built-in ECO Drive feature that analyses whether your driving style is economical. When you’re parked, the dash cam starts recording as soon as movement is picked up at the front of the car.…

Running is a great way to boost your cardio, melt fat, and feel fitter overall, and doing so during the summer is infinitely easier. But what if you want to continue running through autumn and winter, yet hate pounding the streets or trail in the rain and wind or over ice? Kitting your home gym out with a stellar treadmill could be the way to go, and for those serious about running, you won’t find a better treadmill right now than the Technogym MyRun. This smart running machine is designed to work in perfect harmony with the MyRun app. It’s sleek, high performance and has a built-in wake up sensor that detects as soon as you step on the running machine, then starts up automatically. The running surface also adapts…

If you regularly wake up feeling sluggish and bloated, your diet could need some TLC. Start by introducing more fresh and healthy foods into your daily eating, and less processed foods. A breakfast smoothie of fresh fruit, good fats, seeds and nut milks, or a green vegetable juice, floods your body with essential nutrients. And smoothies are now easier to make thanks to Sage’s commercial grade blender for the home, the Super Q. This new multi-purpose blender has a powerful 2,400-watt motor, so can handle a wide range of hard and soft foods, and uses noise suppression tech to stay quiet in use. The Super Q (£599, sageappliances.com) has 12 speed settings and five one-touch programs for blending a range of healthy snacks, including dips, sauces, soups, nut milks and…

ADAM PAGE, NORFOLK Q What’s your long-haul loadout? A Flying is the worst. It just is. So when Guru is forced to travel internationally in a pressurised flatulence tube, provisions must be made to feed his gadget habit. Starting with the container: GaGu’s carry on bag of choice is, somewhat predictably, something smart – though prime examples like the Genius Pack Supercharged ($395) and the Incase ProConnected 4 ($400) (and the fun, motorised ride-on Modobag, $1,500) are hard to come by on these shores. The Carry-On by Away (£225) does the trick, though, being super-tough and having an ejectable battery to boot. First in the long line of travel accessories are good noise-cancelling headphones. Guru favours the Razer Hammerhead USB-C ANC ear buds (£80) because they’re compact and, however awkward…

Curiously enough, one of the truest things I’ve ever heard said about tech was uttered by former Blue Peter presenter and one-time tabloid icon, emeritus Professor Richard Bacon. For some reason that now escapes me, he hosted the T3 Awards (twice!) and there, Dr Bacon posited a compelling theory. In tech, unlike in any other field of endeavour, the winner of a T3 Award could rightfully claim to be the GOAT: Greatest Of All Time. At the Oscars, a film such as Green Book can win, and everyone says, ‘Well it wasn’t a very good year; it’s no classic like Terms of Endearment or Kramer vs Kramer, is it?’ ‘Actually, why is the winner of this always so awful?’ they might very well then go on to say. At a…

Despite its close proximity to London (it’s just a 70-minute train journey from the capital) Retreat East feels a million miles away from anywhere. Nestled in the Suffolk hills, and just a stone’s throw from the beautiful, deer-dotted Shrubland Hall estate, Retreat East (1 from £150 per night, suffolk.farm) is the perfect way to escape this autumn. There are 10 barns, some with one bedroom and others with two, and there’s also a four-bedroom farmhouse to rent. Standout features include fireplaces and stand-alone bath tubs. Want to escape into epic, rugged views? Get your hiking boots on and head to the Peak District and stay at Wheeldon Trees Farm (2 cottages from £261 for two nights, wheeldontreesfarm.co.uk). Views over the Peak District can be soaked up right from the wonderfully…

Though it lacks the cachet of exotic bike labels, UK brand Ribble’s electric road bike - the Endurance SL e - delivers on so many levels at a price that’s only a grand and a bit up on the non electric version it’s based on. What’s not to like? At a glance, the SL e could genuinely be mistaken for a regular road bike. Its aero frame looks no chunkier than the normal model, yet it manages to hide a 248Wh capacity battery in the downtube, while the control interface is neatly integrated into the top tube. As with the Ampler, the Ribble’s motor is located in the rear hub, though the SL e boasts the same lightweight Ebikemotion X35 system as found in the similarily light Orbea Gain. With…

AWAIR 2ND EDITION Find out just how clean or polluted the air inside your home is (and why it matters) with Awair’s clever air quality monitor. It connects to your phone and constantly monitors the air in your house, notifying you of any changes in air quality, and giving you personalised recommendations for how to improve it to stay healthy indoors. £169, getawair.co.uk PHILIPS AC2889/60 SERIES 2000I Cut down on odours and gases and protect against allergies with this fantastic little air purifier from Philips.

£230 sony.co.uk Sometimes when shopping online, you come across some very high-quality knock-offs of well-known products. They look and feel the same but the price is lower and there are little give-aways as to their true provenance. Well, with the WH-XB900N, Sony has created a great cheap knock-off… of its own WH-1000XM3 noise-cancelling headphones. Everything about the XB900N is ever so reminiscent of the T3 Award winning cans, but not quite there. The shape is so familiar. The build quality is very pleasing… but not quite as good as the 1000XM3. Audio is punchy and generally excellent… but in a more bass-led, less overall pleasing way than the 1000XM3. Noise cancelling is excellent but… Well, you get the picture. Even Sony’s chosen model number – 900 rather than 1000 –…

THE MACALLAN MAGNUM Whisky has never looked so good, let alone tasted so damn fine. The Macallan Magnum is the latest edition (Chapter Seven, in fact) in a new series of special limited-release whiskies, coupled with six signed prints taken by world-renowned photographers of the new Macallan Distillery, located on the breathtakingly beautiful Easter Elchies estate in Moray, Scotland. The Magnum single malt itself was created by whisky maker Sarah Burgess, who crafted it from a combination of eight different casks. These include a spicy gingered cask, a classic cask laced with intense black cherry notes, a red wine cask bringing a rich mahogany red to the whisky, and an American barrel bursting with delicate citrus notes. If you’re buying for a whisky collector, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a…
